Which version of this game is the best one and why?

>> No.5636517

I vaguely remember watching a comparison video of all the different versions and I think the winner was the Mega CD version, with the vanilla Mega Drive in a close second. The 32-bit versions have a shittier framerate and, to be a memster, soulless colour choices.

Windows 95 version as this was one of the very first times where computer games could be seen as on par, or better, than console games, thanks to Microsoft's initiative for PC gaming. I'm not sure if it would work flawlessly on a modern PC though, but considering Earthworm Jim Special Edition for Win95 works well enough for modern PCs, this might as well. Unless of course you're that faggot from digitalfoundry who uses nostalgia as his only reason for deeming the Sega CD superior, or for modern games saying that consoles hardly being able to do 30fps gives them "a filmic je ne sais quois" over the much better performing pc versions.

Let`s talk about this game. It was released on Mega Drive, Sega CD, 32x, Super Nintendo, Jaguar and Windows.
Yet we never talk about it.

It looks good, the OST is very good but it`s just an average game.

Nah that version is a mess. One of the few Mega CD games with a direct Megadrive comparison that runs notably worse.
The SNES version is slow, ugly, and the wrong resolution.
Sega always wins baby

I only had the Sega CD version. I hated having to tap start to change through items.

Definitely the Windows version. This is one of my childhood games and I played it on Windows with a keyboard.

The game's selling point is the graphics and music but the graphics look like dogshit on everything but Windows and the music only sounds like it should on Mega CD and Windows.

I haven't actually tried installing the windows version because I imagine it's a broken mess on Windows 10 x64. I do have the Mega CD version setup for emulation but stopped playing cuz it looks so much worse than I remember even on a CRT TV.

Platformers are too clunky for PC. Captain Claw suffers from same problem.

Go ahead, name console ports for ANY non-Windows computer that are as good, or better, than their source console versions. Since a lot of earlier games were arcade ports, you're free to name arcade ports which are better on computers than consoles. Even DOS was a fucking joke, outside of Duke3D and Doom it had awful games and equally awful ports.
